Therapists in Atascosa County, TX

Emotional health difficulties are like a cold, everyone gets them from time to time. However, if the cold goes on for weeks or keeps on getting worse, you should probably see a healthcare professional. This is true for our emotional health as well. If we want to be healthy, we have to take care of ourselves: body, mind and soul. Psychotherapy is medical treatment and care intended to relieve or heal the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, healing and wholeness. I have 20 years of experience supporting and guiding clients in a variety of areas including mental health, health care, disability and family services.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. People mistake the feeling of vulnerability for weakness, allowing this feeling to surface means we are facing something painful. This takes courage. Learning to experience feelings without judging them is a foundational part of the healing process. Acceptance is a sign of bravery and leads to developing what is called emotional intelligence. When you engage in the development of your emotional intelligence you are increasing self-awareness and personal freedom by creating choice where there was none before.

I believe in the power of therapy to help people escape the grip of the trauma: I work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, abusive relationships, rape and sexual violence, terrorism, and political violence. I understand that making a commitment to yourself through psychological therapy is a significant and important step for many people.

I specialize in the treatment of women ages 25 & up dealing with challenges such as difficult life transitions, people-pleasing, procrastination, avoidance, perfectionism, a harsh inner-critic, relationship issues, family drama and other related issues. I have the most success with clients that are open to increasing self-awareness about their own emotions/behaviors and willing to consider leaning into change if needed. Change is hard though, so that's why I'm here. To support & hold space for my fellow women on their journey.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I work with you to identify and heal the unhealthy attachment styles and trauma responses that are painful barriers in your life today. These barriers are often responsible for all the negative beliefs we have about ourselves now, that only hold us back from our best potential. Our work together teaches you how to break these cycles while gaining a new, healthy perception of yourself today, as well as for the painful issue(s) that brought you to therapy. You will evolve with new insight, awareness, and love for yourself! It's a beautiful transformation and an honor to witness.

Practicing as a psychologist is more than a profession to me. It is my vocation and my purpose in life to promote the Elevation of the Human Experience for each of my patients. I believe Human Beings can find true happiness despite the cards they were dealt in life and the influences that have kept them from being their best self. As your therapist, my goal is to help you discover the way to experience this process of Elevation in your life.

Sometimes the most subtle of changes can be the most profound, which is a concept at the heart of my counseling approach. While counseling often includes relief of challenging symptoms related to anxiety or feeling stuck, I also help clients navigate challenging life turning points, such as sudden career changes or unexpected medical diagnoses. For clients seeking further self-exploration, I provide a depth counseling approach in which we reflect on conscious and unconscious emotions to increase self-awareness and improve unhelpful psychological patterns.

Hi, how are you? I’m Claudia. I’m so glad you decided to take this step in helping yourself become the best you can be! I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in any societal labels.

Do you feel like you are stuck? Lost or trapped? Have you felt unable to move beyond painful experiences in your past? Do you feel mired in negative thoughts and feelings in the present? Do the same destructive patterns seem to repeat themselves, over and over? You are not alone. Addressing these questions is the first step towards positive change and growth. I believe counseling is often more than seeking to feel better - it is a journey. Therapy can offer an avenue towards self-empowerment, fulfillment and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. A path towards living more authentically.

Schedule your free consultation & guidance session! Whether it is addiction, codependency, trauma, depression, or anxiety, nothing should get in your way of you living your best life! What has happened before today, what is happening now, and the worries of what may happen tomorrow can be a source of suffering for everyone. Take action and move towards your goals, dreams, passions, and best you. I have nearly a decade of experience helping individuals strive for the life that they know they should have, reach milestones, find their voice, and be the catalyst for change in their own lives. Every person can be the hero of their story!
